are actually doing the work, we do not charge you in advance for teahouse lodging and food. The guide will be able to
book accommodation for the group in advance during high season. However, you will pay the
teahouse owner directly for food and lodging. Budget at least
$25
a day for food and lodging to be paid in
cash directly to the teahouse.
Estimated food & lodging for this trip
$250.00 per person.

Transportation

For 'Guide & Permit Only' treks we do not include transportation to/from the trail head. Your guide
will help you arrange transportation to the trail head in the case where public bus tickets or a hired
private vehicle is required. In addition to your own fare, please pay the fare of your guide and porter
(if you have hired one) for public buses and public jeeps. In the case of flights, a fee for the guides
transportation is included in the price. You have the option of allowing us to also book your flight this
ensures that your guide can be on the same flight. You are also free to book your own flight with the
airlines directly if you wish please let us know your flight information if you book your own tickets.
If you are on trek in which multiple trekkers have joined we will provide you with the contacts of
other members of your trek so that you can arrange your transportation together.

If you do not specify a guide, a request will be sent to all available guides (once a payment is made and the trek
is confirmed). Once confirmed, you can choose from the guides who indicated that they would like to lead your trek, or ask us
to recommend a guide.

The trek to Phugaon, Nar and over the Kang La pass is a hidden jewel of the Annapurna Region. It combines spectacular mountain scenery with vibrant Tibetan culture in a remote and rustic setting. For those looking to get off the beaten track and explore the hidden wonders of Nepal the trek to Nar and Phu is the perfect choice.

Weather Conditions in
December

December is probably the most underrated month to trek, one of the driest months of the year skies are often clear from sunrise to sunset. The trails and teahouses are less crowded than in November.
At higher altitudes, temperatures drop as the winter season approaches so it is important to carry warm enough clothing and sleeping bags. When properly prepared December can be a great month to trek

Humde to Besi Sahar via Jeep Finish

If you are in a rush it is possible to catch a jeep hike all the way to Humde and catch a shared jeep to Besi Sahar the next day and reduce the trek by a day. Keep in mind there are fewer jeeps than leave from Chame.

via Thorung La

Highlights: Manang, Muktinath, Thorung High Camp, and Thorung La
Difficulty:
challenging
After the Kang La take advantage of your acclimatization and continue along the classic Annapurna Circuit. From Manang there is an option to take the spectacular side trip to Tilicho Lake, or continue directly over the Thorung La (5416 m) descending to the pilgrim town of Muktinath, a sacred place for both Hindus and Buddhists. From Muktinath, you have the option to take a jeep via the wide valley of lower Mustang to Jomson, where both flights and buses to Pokhara can be arranged, or trek via the traditional village of Kagbeni, gateway to upper Mustang. While the road has taken some of the charm out of this classic trek, the advantage is that a trip can be tailored around one’s interests and time constraints. Whether you do the epic full circuit from Besi Sahar to Ghorepani, or take off a bite sized chunk around the Thorung La, the Annapurna Circuit still has plenty to offer.
